Also loved seeing so many of these 2022 Ohio State commits together and just hanging out.

They are such a tight knit group and really do live by the #Brotherhood they preach.

I know this group will do amazing things on and off the field in Columbus. Great players and people. pic.twitter.com/0Vd6W0kkBo

GEORGIA SURGES AHEAD OF BUCKEYES
Georgia hasn't picked up a commitment in the 2022 cycle since March 31, but after rankings updates last week that didn't stop the Bulldogs from surging ahead and overtaking Ohio State for the No. 1 ranking in the 2022 class.

This Buckeye class has a chance to go down as one of the best in school history and may even pass the loaded 2021 group. But there's speculation that Georgia may wind up as having one of Kirby Smart's best all-time recruiting classes this cycle – impressive, if true, after the Bulldogs finished with the recruiting crown in 2020 with a top-15 all-time haul.

Ohio State still holds, as of right now, its highest-ever average player rating at 95.74 points behind a quartet of five-star commits and seven four-star commits.
